Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electrical interfaces and particularly to thermally conductive interfaces for use in a variety of electronic products.
  • Integrated circuit (“IC”) chips are steadily become more powerful while being compacted into smaller and smaller packages. When compared to previous integrated circuit chips, this trend produces integrated chips which are significantly denser and which perform many more functions in a given period of time--resulting in an increase in the current they use. Consequently, smaller and faster chips tend to run significantly hotter than previous products.
  • heat sinks In an effort to control heat better, the use of various heat sinks is now a central focus in electronic equipment design.
  • Examples of common heat sinks employed today include: various filled products, such as epoxies, thermosets, silicones, and thermoplastics; IBM Thermal Conductive Modules (ITCM); Mitsubishi High Thermal Conduction Modules (HTCM); Hitachi SiC Heat Sink; Fujitsu FACOM VP2000 Cooling Mechanism; etc.
  • a interface which is elastic or otherwise conformable is preferred so as to ease installation and to minimize the effect of expansion and contraction between electronic components. Air gaps formed from inapt installation of a chip to a heat sink, and/or expansion and contraction cycles during operation, can greatly impede the flow of heat from the device. Conformability becomes especially important when the tolerances on the heat sink and chip tilt (in the case of flip chips) become large.
  • thermal greases or thermally conductive thermosetting materials are used to take up tolerances between electronic components. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,028,984 to Ameen et al. While such materials may work well for some applications, they continue to have a number of drawbacks. These materials tend to be hard to control and are prone to contaminating components of the electronic device. For instance, care must be taken when using these materials to prevent unwanted contamination of solder joints and, in the case of electrically conductive thermoset resins, unwanted contamination of adjacent conductors. In practice, this usually results in a significant amount of wasted material. Additionally, clean up often requires the use of either unsafe or environmentally unsound solvents.
  • a gasket-type material comprising a thin-film surrounding a meltable metal core.
  • the gasket is installed as an interface and its temperature is increased to melt the metal core and allow it to conform to the component parts.
  • this construction is believed to be ineffective in avoiding air gaps that can form during normal thermal cycling of the device.
  • this device may experience limited compressibility, requiring either application of excessive pressure to the mating surfaces, or use of unacceptably thick sections of the gasket.
  • thermoset resins, greases, and gaskets employing a filler there are additional constraints in successful heat dissipation.
  • Most fillers tend to coat each individual particle of the thermal conductor within the resin--essentially insulating the conductor. This greatly reduces the overall effective thermal conductivity of the product in at least two ways. First, even a thinly coated surface (e.g., with a layer of silicone or epoxy) can serve as a thermal insulator, reducing the effective thermal conductivity of the product, particularly at contacting surfaces. Second, in order to overcome such thermal insulation, it is often necessary to apply substantial pressure to the interface in order to urge the thermally conductive particles into direct contact with one another to produce the necessary amount of conduction through the material. This often requires unacceptable compressive force for integrated circuits to produce a viable thermally conductive interface.
  • thermoset resins include: inadequate conformability (i.e., excessive compressive force to get higher thermal conductivity); high flexural modulus after curing--resulting in substantial stress upon devices during thermal cycling; a lack of "compliance,” resulting in stress fractures if the resin is flexed longitudinally after curing; long curing times; and difficulty in manufacturing in high volumes.
  • thermoly conductive interface which delivers relatively even heat dissipation and reduces the negative impact of flex and fatigue.
  • the present invention is an improved thermally conductive interface combining high thermal conductivity with substantial conformability.
  • the present invention is a departure from many previous thermally conductive interfaces in that the thermally conductive particles are entrapped in solid portions of an open polymer support structure without the need for completely coating the particles with thermally non-conductive polymer. As a result, better particle-to-particle contact, as well as interface-to-component contact, is established to improve thermal transfer through the interface.
  • the improved thermal interface of the present invention also permits effective installation with significantly less compressive force than presently available interfaces.
  • the interface of the present invention is provided with a significant degree of flexibility. This allows the interface to conform readily to provide a tight junction between component parts, reducing inefficiencies due to air gaps while providing a buffer between component parts during thermal cycling. The flexibility of the interface also provides far greater tolerances for longitudinal flexing and material fatigue during thermal cycling. Finally, through use of a porous fluoropolymer, a ready mechanism for air relief is also provided.
  • a compressible structure such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or similar fluoropolymer
  • FIG. 1 is a three-quarter isometric view of one embodiment of a thermally conductive interface of the present invention shown mounted between component parts of an electronic device;
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a thermally conductive interface of the present invention shown mounted between two component parts of an electronic device;
  • FIG. 3 is a scanning electron micrograph (SEM), enlarged 200 times, of a thermally conductive interface of the present invention
  • FIG. 4 is a SEM, enlarged 2000 times, of a thermally conductive interface of the present invention, showing thermally conductive particles embedded within nodes of the fluoropolymer membrane.
  • the present invention comprises a thermally conductive interface for mounting between a variety of component parts to assist in the transference of heat energy.
  • FIG. 1 Shown in FIG. 1 is a thermally conductive interface 10 of the present invention mounted between two representative components, a heat sink 12 and a integrated circuit 14, on an electronic circuit board 16. Unlike many presently available thermally conductive interfaces, the present invention provides exceptional conformability between component parts. As a result, with minimal compressive pressure, the interface 10 of the present invention forms a tight connection between the interface 10 and abutting surfaces 18, 20 of each of the components with little or no air spaces present to disrupt thermal conductivity.
  • the term “tight” is used to describe the connection achieved between component parts using the interface of the present invention, it is meant to encompass a junction between component parts whereby the interface material has conformed to fill in irregularities in the surfaces of the component parts and significantly reduce or eliminate any air spaces therebetween.
  • the interface of the present invention is particularly effective at establishing a tight connection at relatively low mounting pressures.
  • low mounting pressures is used in this application, it is intended to encompass the restricted pressures that sensitive electronic products (e.g., silica IC chips) can withstand, and includes pressure below about 30 lb/in 2 (147 kg/m 2 ).
  • the interface 10 of the present invention can be formed in a variety of shapes and sizes to fill particular needs.
  • Shown in FIG. 2 is another embodiment of a thermally conductive interface 22 of the present invention. In this instance, the interface 22 is deformed to provide a compliant connection between a heat sink 24 and an electronic component 26.
  • the preferred construction of the interfaces of the present invention comprises a fluoropolymer material having fine thermally conductive particles embedded therein.
  • the thermally conductive particles preferably have the following properties: high thermal conductivity (e.g., in the range of 9.9 to 2000 W/M °K.); particle size of ⁇ 1 micron up to about 44 micron; and good packing characteristics.
  • high thermal conductivity e.g., in the range of 9.9 to 2000 W/M °K.
  • particle size of ⁇ 1 micron up to about 44 micron e.g., in the range of 9.9 to 2000 W/M °K.
  • particle size ⁇ 1 micron up to about 44 micron
  • good packing characteristics e.g., it is preferred that the particles comprise a number of different average sizes (e.g., being bi-modal or tri-modal) so that unfilled air spaces between particles can be minimized.
  • Preferred particles for use with the present invention include: metals, such as aluminum (Al), copper (Cu) or nickel (Ni), or zinc (Zn); metal oxides, such as zinc oxide, copper oxide, and aluminum oxide; or other thermally conductive, electrically non-conductive material, such as boron nitride (BN), aluminum nitride (AlN), diamond powder, and silicon carbide (SiC).
